LINE NEWS: Did Lineage, Inc. Mislead Investors? Contact BFA Law by September 30 Class Action Deadline (NASDAQ:LINE)
NEW YORK, Aug. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against Lineage, Inc. (NASDAQ: LINE) and certain of the Company's senior executives and directors for potential violations of the federal securities laws. If you invested in Lineage, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: Investors have until September 30, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 on behalf of investors who purchased stock pursuant and/or traceable to Lineage's registration statement for its initial public offering held on or about July 25, 2024. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan and is captioned City of St. Clair Shores Police and Fire Retirement System v. Lineage, Inc., et al. , No. 2:25-cv-12383. Why Was Lineage Sued Under the Federal Securities Laws? Lineage is a cold storage focused real estate investment trust ('REIT'). Through its Global Warehousing Segment, Lineage owns and operates hundreds of temperature-controlled storage facilities used by companies to store food and other perishable products. As alleged, Lineage's IPO documents touted its 'consistent cold chain demand,' which purportedly provided Lineage 'with strong cash flows even during periods of broader economic stress.' The IPO documents also represented that the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic had 'accelerated trends that . . . have the potential to be growth engines for the industry in coming years.' In truth, Lineage was allegedly in the midst of a sustained downturn, as its customers destocked excess inventory built up during the COVID-19 pandemic, and also shifted to leaner inventories on a go-forward basis and as more cold-storage supply came on line. Events Following the IPO On February 26, 2025, Lineage announced its fiscal Q4 2024 financial results, revealing that customers had been 'unwinding' previously 'overbuil[t]' levels of inventory, returning to a 'more normal seasonal pattern' that was expected to 'continue moving forward.' Lineage conducted its IPO at $78 per share. Since the IPO, the price of Lineage stock has fallen dramatically, to lows near $40 per share—approximately half the IPO price.

All representation is on a contingency fee basis, there is no cost to you. Shareholders are not responsible for any court costs or expenses of litigation.

By GlobeNewswire Published on August 9, 2025, 16:36 IST NEW YORK, Aug. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against RxSight, Inc. (NASDAQ: RXST) and certain of the Company's senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws. If you invested in RxSight, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: Investors have until September 22, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors who purchased RxSight securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California and is captioned Makaveev v. RxSight, Inc., et al. , No. 25-cv- 01596. Why Was RxSight Sued for Securities Fraud? RxSight is engaged in the manufacture and sale of light adjustable intraocular lenses used in cataract surgery along with capital equipment used with the lenses. The Company's main product is its Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) that can be customized after cataract surgery through a series of non-invasive light treatments. These treatments, using a Light Delivery Device (LDD), adjust the lens's shape and power to optimize vision based on the patient's individual needs and preferences. During the relevant period, the Company touted its strong LAL and LDD sales and failed to disclose 'adoption challenges' in its products. In reality, RxSight was experiencing a slowdown in LAL utilization that was first noted in 2024. The Stock Declines as the Truth Is Revealed On April 3, 2025, before the market opened, RxSight cut its 2025 full-year revenue forecast citing a 'softening' of the market that purportedly occurred 'in the second half of 2024.' On this news, the price of RxSight stock declined roughly 38%, from $26.12 per share on April 2, 2025, to $16.21 per share on April 3, 2025. Then on July 8, 2025, the Company further cut its 2025 full-year revenue forecast. RxSight attributed the adjustment to 'the slower ramp in LAL utilization that was first noted in 2024' and '[a]doption challenges over the last few quarters.' On this news, the price of RxSight stock declined roughly 38%, from $12.79 per share on July 8, 2025, to $7.95 per share on July 9, 2025. Click here for more information: What Can You Do?

FLYW NEWS: Did Flywire Corporation Mislead Investors? Contact BFA Law by September 23 Class Action Deadline (NASDAQ:FLYW)
NEW YORK, Aug. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against Flywire Corporation (NASDAQ: FLYW) and certain of the Company's senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws. If you invested in Flywire, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: Investors have until September 23, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors who purchased Flywire securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York and is captioned Hickman v. Flywire Corp., et al. , No. 1:25-cv-04110. Why Was Flywire Sued for Securities Fraud? Flywire operates as a payments-enablement, and software company. Its largest client vertical is education, the volumes and revenue from which rely on international enrollments and student school preferences. In and around late 2023 and early 2024, the Canadian and Australian governments began to tighten student visa and permitting rules. Despite these headwinds, Flywire consistently touted the sustainability of its revenue growth and financial condition, while downplaying the negative impacts of permit- and visa-related headwinds on the Company's business. In truth, it is alleged that Flywire overstated the strength and sustainability of its revenue growth while understating the negative impacts that the permit- and visa-related restrictions had and were likely to have on Flywire's business. The Stock Declines as the Truth Is Revealed On February 25, 2025, Flywire announced that its business in the education sector had significantly deteriorated due to worsening permit- and visa-related headwinds, including 'double digit declines in student visa issuance in our big four geographic markets,' with 'continued visa policy restrictions' anticipated in 2025. On this news, the price of Flywire stock declined roughly 37%, from $17.64 per share on February 25, 2025, to $11.05 per share on February 26, 2025. Click here for more information: What Can You Do?
